An avalanche at the Himlung Himal base camp in Nepal left two bodies recovered and 14 people missing, while heavy snowfall hampered rescue operations.

Nepal marks a national day of mourning following catastrophic flash floods that have killed more than 1,300 people, as rescue efforts continue at damaged hydropower sites.

Emergency crews pulled two men alive from a Nepal hydropower tunnel nine days after an avalanche triggered flash floods, raising hopes for hundreds of missing workers.
